Aluminium Window Painting

You may not have realised that your aluminium windows and doors can be painted but with special paint and the right technique, amazing results can be achieved.
All Aluminium Windows And Doors Painted
Whether it’s the inside or the outside, painting your aluminium windows or doors is very tricky. It takes skill and knowledge to get good results with the right paint being crucial.
We don’t recommend trying to attempt to do this yourself unless you are an experienced painter like our team at Imperial Painting.
How We Work
Aluminium window and door painting or re-spraying is a meticulous process that involves several steps to achieve a flawless finish. Here’s an overview of how it’s typically done:
The first step is crucial for ensuring the paint adheres well to the aluminium surface. The windows and doors are thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt, grease, or old paint residue. Any imperfections such as dents or scratches are also addressed at this stage
After cleaning, the aluminium surfaces are lightly sanded to create a rough texture, promoting better paint adhesion. This step also helps to smooth out any remaining imperfections
Areas that are not meant to be painted, such as glass panes or handles, are carefully masked off using painter’s tape and protective coverings to prevent overspray
A primer specifically formulated for use on metal surfaces is applied evenly to the prepared aluminium. The primer enhances adhesion and provides a base for the topcoat to adhere to
Once the primer has dried completely, the desired paint colour is sprayed onto the aluminium surfaces in thin, even coats. Multiple coats may be applied to achieve the desired opacity and finish
After the final coat is applied, the painted surfaces are allowed to cure and dry thoroughly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures the durability and longevity of the finish
Once fully dried, the windows and doors are inspected for any imperfections or unevenness in the paint. Any necessary touch-ups are performed to ensure a flawless final result
After the paint has fully cured, the masking materials are removed, and the windows and doors are reassembled. A final inspection is conducted to ensure the quality of the paint job meets Imperial Painting’s standards
Overall, aluminium window and door painting or re-spraying requires careful preparation, precise application, and attention to detail to achieve a professional and long-lasting finish.
Metal Paint Colour Choices
Metal windows and doors require different paints and different preparations. They can suffer from corrosion, oxidation and discolouration over time but will retain their integrity structurally. It’s easy to use the wrong paint depending on what type of metalwork your windows or doors are made out of. Some will need primer and some will require colorbond paint. There are also a great deal of paints made especially for metal nowadays that can protect and also give different metallic finishes so getting a free colour consultation and quote from us is very advisable.
